Shackman-reromanus is involved in ESL electrostatic
matters since more than thirty years. In 1985, simultaneously he
naissance of the famous MHT-85 ESL tweeter, SHACKMAN producing craftsmanship
became allowed to be directed to the art of
serious repairing work. You will profit from our technical knowledge,
experience and competence with a proven longevity result.

Our philosophy is to have the best and most adequate test
equipment available for working on your electrostatic
loudspeakers. That is not trivial at all measuring reliably pico-Amperes,
Tera-Ohms, up to 10 kilo-Volts DC and k2, k3 harmonic
distortions. Best testing tools really are a must for a pro
repair provider to get the most out of your ESL speakers to be
fixed.

You
will get a detailed written findings/diagnosis abstract , which
can be used as expert opinion for sales, or for assurance
purposes.

You
will get diverse therapy propositions and you can decide
which work you want to be done and which one will fit your
expectations on the long run.

You
will get a detailed estimate for the diverse possible
repair/renewal/upgrade solutions.

You do
not have any obligations or costs (except shipping) by giving
the speakers to us for expertise.

Last, but not least. Your speakers will not be touched by anyone
else than Reiner E. Römer, the Shackman-reromanus chief himself.

We cannot , and we will not, repair physically broken original hardware like eg. frames
or un-repairable PCBs. We have to order these items as spare
parts from the original manufacturer, if available. If not
available, the speakers will be declared by us as "beyond
repair", in the sense of bringing them back to original.
The only thing remaining, will be to bring the speakers back to
work. Not more but nonetheless not less. And that " not less" we
stand for.. .. and it still is and will be our successful
work for fully bringing back to life your beloved treasures
"beyond repair".

We will never work and have our fingers in any kind of broken
special electronics, except EHTs, We will give these things to
the original manufacturer for repair or for providing
appropriate original spare parts/units.

Neither can we give you any information by phone, by mail or any
other way on how to get repaired the speakers by
yourself , especially concerning the high voltage danger. Nevertheless,
surfing our web sites you will find technological background
informations on how to repair your electrostatic panels.
For example some hints on using coating, and how to
stretch ESL diaphragms. But you really should keep your
finger off the HV power supply. 5kV to 10kV is not that
much a playground for DIYers in the very early years of their
life. Please be careful. Keep your hands off from that
stuff, if you are not really very well knowing what you are
doing. BANG.The speakers will be off the
play forever and you could be as well.

We
cannot give you any complete schematics, diagrams or manuals for
DIY repair. Nor can we and will we ever offer so called
repair kits,. That would be senseless, because
we cannot send you our stretching jig. Instead, please find and
use our special Shackman-reromanus DIY ESL parts and appropriate
materials like foil or adhesive for your own repair
trials.

Please trust in the Shackman knowlegde,
competence and facilities on electrostastic loudspeaker matters

We will be proud to answer all your
questions immediately. You are welcome.
